Michelle- (((hugs))) for being able to go through this last weekend w/o killing anyone lol...one day at a time you can (and will) do this! It's never easy to be in your position and no one wants to be there but getting through it slowly is the best way to do it...as for the friend not being appreciative of her blessing that is sadly too true...I also have come across these women who have no idea what it's like to lose a pregnancy or even worse, those who do and then still find the time to complain about their symptoms or things they can't do anymore...'tis a sad fact...I hope AF comes and goes by quickly and painlessly and that you can then get on with expanding your family...GL this cycle xoKatie- YAY for a positive OPK!! BD prior to O is actually considered very good and BD after seeing your positive OPK is also excellent...while I was using OPKs (only for a few months) I only once saw a positive and that was on my day18 and so we BD on the day of the positive and for two days afterwards and I ended up with a BFP...they say if you keep testing after that positive, once you see a negative OPK then you have O...I will keep my fingers crossed for you babe...GL this cycle xo (also sorry that you had the unpleasant task of having to go to a memorial service..maybe I didn't catch on but was it for someone close to you guys?Ani- Sorry this cycle is turning into such a long one...are we still waiting for O? I will send you vibes (of whatever kind you need 'cause I'm not sure lol) and hope that the stress you're feeling will go away so you can get back to regular business and soon! xoView Thread

I do hope that you all had a beautiful, relaxing weekend and here's to another week!My update is really not an update: CD11 today, will be ovulating sometime in the next week so just waiting...View Thread

(((hugs))) Katie I'm so sorry you have all this stuff around you that keeps jabbing at you in your time of hardship...I know it's hard knowing others are pregnant when all we want is to be the same way too...tell yourself there's a reason why it hasn't yet been your turn and someday you'll understand why...It doesn't make anything any easier right now but I know that someday we will all understand the bigger picture..I do like the new attitude and the trick is to take in one day at a time and do like you're doing..lwtting this one day be a good one and then you can deal with the next one tomorrow..and so on..I just wish it wasn't hard for all of us though..(((hugs))) girl xoView Thread

Hello ladies..I hope the week is dwindling down happily for everyone.. only one more until the weekend!!I'm here tonight because I've been reading this book for the past two days and I'm about to finish it and I wanted to come and share with you ladies..The book is fiction and was written by Danielle Steele and I'm sure you ladies have all heard of her..excellent writer, love stories and affairs of the heart mostly..The book I'm reading though is called Mixed Blessings and I just happen to pick this one up out of this old box of books I have laying in my storage closet and I'm so into it right now!The book is about marriage and having babies, and the hardships we can sometimes face when we go down that road..it is a must read for us ladies..it has brought me to tears but has also made me laugh so hard I cried.... "I feel like a racehorse in training"-from the book I recommend it ladies it will hit close to home xoView Thread

Hi Jenn welcome to the board...I am so sorry for the reasons that bring you to us though (((hugs)))...Going through a loss is never easy and all women go through theirs differently...I myself became unexpectedly pregnant in the summer of 2011 and lost that pregnancy 6 days later but just having that taste of being pregnant all I could think about after the loss was being pregnant again...I wanted to write you because I wanted to assure you that although you went through an abortion this event will not stop you from having another baby...this is something I know about because I have been through two in my lifetime (and this is something I have never told this board and I hope no one will be judging)...I know that you can go on to have a healthy pregnancy because I did and I know many women who did also...As for support we are always here for each other so welcome again!View Thread

Michelle- (((hugs))) again for what you just went through and I hope your stay with us will be short and sweet...baby dust to you this cycle even though you aren't (yet) trying Katie- Baby dust girl, I hope this will be the magic cycle that changes things right around for you...I will keep you in my daily prayers (as I do to all the ladies here) but I know how hard you take it every month so I especially hope you see your BFP soon!! Ani- As Katie says it really only does take one time (as we all know right?) so I will keep my fingers crossed for you that the one time was enough and that your little bean is right now floating down to it's home for the next 9 months...baby dust and GL My update: Not much of one really because I am on CD5 and AF is still going strong...I have the longest cycles of any woman I know (well almost)...but seriously most of my GFs have like 3-4 day cycles and I mean they're done after that..mine takes until about CD8 to stop (sigh)...What can you do?...Have a good week ladies xoxoView Thread

Sorry ladies I didn't realise so many of you were waiting for my next update haha..I even received a private IM on FB from a friend who lurks here who wanted to know what was going on since I hadn't been back here to update...I knew I was right and I am not preggo...started spotting on Thursday kept on spotting until evening last night (Friday) and then it really became CD1....today is heavier but all in all I feel just fine with the BFN...As I said to my FB friend I will not let these BFNs dictate my moods and after all I am already blessed to have the wonderful kids that I do have...On the family front we are having an excellent Saturday so far..went out to do our weekly shopping then made home made pizza for dinner and tonight is a movie night with popcorn and the works!!Tomorrow I am making our super yummy family lasagna recipe..can't wait it will be so good!!Hope you all are having a great weekend too View Thread

I know Ani right? I mean the reason I was holding out to test was so I didn't waste a test because I am just convinced that this isn't my lucky cycle...BUT I broke down this morning and tested w/ FMU and I'm pretty sure it was a BFN..it looked like it but then there seemed to be something but I'm sure my eyes were just seeing things...Today is CD32..last pregnancy I got my BFP on CD34, pregnancy before that on CD37 and the one prior to that on CD 38 so IF I still don't start by Fri. I'll have to shell out more $$ to get another test...ugh...View Thread

Katie (((hugs))) girl I know how hard the start of a new cycle is and to have to listen to all that happy baby talk must of been seriously difficult...I know I would have felt the same way...I do hope that AF goes by quickly and that you have a successful cycle this time around..I will say extra prayers to that effect just for you Hun xoAni- Who know right, maybe because the parents are there and because you guys will be trying to be discreet maybe this will be the month the magic happens..as they say it's when you're not trying...anyhow GL and baby dust Ani xo...As for myself, still no AF today, I was on the lookout for her all day and didn't see anything (yet) but I find weird that my cycle is stretching beyond the 30 day mark again this month because last month was a 35 day cycle and it usually goes 1 month less than 30 days, next month more than 30 days and then next month I'll get a perfect 28 day cycle (or almost like 27 or 29) and then it starts again in the same rotation...I don't remember ever having plus 30 days two months in a row before...I'm probably just over analyzing while I wait for AF to start..View Thread
